Lady Gaga Reacts to Joker Sequel's Box Office Losses

Lady Gaga has addressed the critical and commercial failure of 'Joker: Folie à Deux', in which she starred alongside Joaquin Phoenix. Despite the film's predecessor's success, the sequel earned a mere $207 million worldwide against a $200 million budget, resulting in significant losses for Warner Bros. The film was panned by critics, holding a 31% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, and received seven Razzie nominations. Gaga, commenting on the backlash, expressed that artists must accept that not all art will connect with audiences. She remains undeterred and continues to focus on her upcoming album 'Mayhem', set to release on March 7. The film's poor reception has not affected Gaga's outlook on her artistic endeavors or her future parenting philosophy, where she plans to let her children form their own opinions of her work.
